NOTICE OF REDUCTION IN ELECTRIC RATES:
The City of Richmond Heights has successfully negotiated and Council has passed necessary legislation for an aggregation contract with CEI that will reduce electric rates by 6%! Based on figures from CEI, the average monthly savings for our residents will be around $5.40 for summer bills and $5.30 in winter. We expect this new aggregation system to be in place by about the end of summer. All residential and business electric customers in the City are automatically included in this plan, subject to time-limited opportunities to opt out.
Click on the following link to view the City’s Electric Power Aggregation Plan of Operation & Governance which further describes the policies and procedures by which the City will carry out its electric aggregation program.
Questions may be directed to First Energy Solutions at 1-866-636-3749, Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm.

RUBBISH BILLING
While the City Administration and Council have taken steps to contain the expenses of the City by reducing the number of employees, by cutting the hours worked by the remaining employees; by waiting longer to replace aging vehicles, trucks and equipment; and by cutting costs in contractual and supplies; the stark reality is that more needs to be done to improve its overall financial health and to maintain effective safety and service forces.
One of the measures deemed necessary was to have residents pay for part of the cost of rubbish service. This is a common practice in many communities. The double digit increases of this expense have had a huge impact on the City’s budget, even though the current bid amount is one of the lowest in the area.
